Live Theatre Workshop's summer camps are a one week music, theatre, dancing, and technical theatre experience. Everyday students will work with a choreographer on two to three dance numbers, a vocal coach on musical theatre style singing, and with professional teaching artists who will lead them through the process of producing a play. All students will be assigned a role and will learn acting technique and theatre skills through the process of rehearsing their character for a final performance of their play and musical numbers. Camps are arranged by age and grade level-all skill levels are welcome. All of our instructors are trained to introduce and teach in a way that makes the entire experience fun and educational in a safe and low-pressure environment. While students will be very busy learning lines, acting, singing, dancing, building sets, and producing their play; there is plenty of time for acting improvisation and theatre games. Our goal here at LTW is to focus on the process of the putting together a production. We feel all students should understand what it takes to put on a show from start to finish with a focus on teamwork, personal responsibility, friendships, and thinking outside of the box

Who could have guessed when we first embarked on the Barrio Stories Project two years ago that it would lead to such an incredible city-wide collaborative process.
Help us make Barrio Stories a 100% Donation Based Event
We are working round the clock to make sure everyone who wants to see Barrio Stories, can do so without any financial obstacles. This is why we have started an Indiegogo crowdsourcing campaign to underwrite tickets for the 1000 TUSD students and anyone else who would otherwise not have the money to buy a ticket. Ticket sales are the lifeblood of a theatre company. They pay for all the administrative costs (staff salaries, office space, utilities, insurance, equipment, supplies) that project grants do not. Without this income, no matter how many grants we receive, Borderlands would come to a grinding halt.
We're betting that caring individuals with means will make it possible for EVERYONE to enjoy this landmark event. This RADICAL HOSPITALITY process was developed by Mixed Blood Theatre in Minneapolis four years ago. We are excited to implement this compassion based idea in order to bring new audiences to the theatre. (Read article on Radical Hospitality here)

If you are interested in showcasing work, please contact zuzisphere@gmail.com, Attn: "No Frills" or call (520) 629-0237. If you are unsure which performance is most appropriate for your choreography, we will help you figure it out.
